JULIET'S LOVE LETTER. 



Scene. — A Dressijig-Rooin in disorder. Doors E, and L. A ioUette- 
iahle. A chnir. A table on lohich are strewed various articles of 
dress — some havefaUe)i to Vie floor — satin slippers, gloves, etc. 

Enter Jul.iet, l. door, with a candle in her hand, speaking to some one 

behind the scenes. 

Jtdiet. Breakfast at eleveu o'clock, remember! Good night, 
auutie, good uight ! Tell the girl, pleube, not to briug me jiiy clioco- 
lute — good uight. (Kisses her ha)id, pals candle on table, and then 
locks the door.) There! Now I feel eji.sier ; with my door locked 
like this, I'm not afraid of robbers. If I hadu't such a substantial 
lock to my door, I shouldn't sleep a wink. (Lights anoVier candle.) 
I'm awfully afraid iu the dark. The papers have been so full of hor- 
rible crimes. If nuyoiie came to murder me, how I should screaui ! 
For what could I do against such a great wicked man as a murderer is? 
For a murderer must be big, very big — enormous! How brave I'la 
getting all at once. "When my doors are so securely locked, I cau 
easily understand the coolness with which men face the dangers of 
the battle-field. (Hears steps outside door, i^., aiui sluncs fear. I^oise 
becomes louder. She runs to the door, and holds lock loiUt bulk hafids.) 
Some one is there ! Oh, who cau it be ? And my uncle sleeps at the 
other end of the house ! What will become of me ? Well, and what 
has become of all my courage? (Noise becomes very great; a drawer 
is heard to fall. ) Oh, it's a robber I I don't dare to stir ! I'll scream ! 

( Tries to scream, but her voice fails her. 



4 Juliet's love letteb. 

Voice. (Outside door l.) Good night, Juliet. Don't be afraid 1 
I came to look for your uncle's portfolio, which he left in the drawing- 
room. 

Juliet. fWiih trembling voice.) Oh, is that you, dear auntie? 
You didn't frighten me at all, (Noise ceases.) What a fool I am! 
Where in the world did my head go? Of course it couldn't have 
been any one but auntie — and just now I was talking in such a grand 
style about goiug to war ! Papa is always laughiug about my love 
for the military. I do love the soldiers, for they are so unfortunate ; 
always on horseback, always exposed to danger, and they are so 
brave ! Ah, what a glorious thing courage is — in other people — aud 
how lovely their medals are ! If I had a brother, I'd like him to be a 
splendid officer, just like papa. Only, as he couldn't begin by being 
a colonel, I should forbid his poking about in the kitchen, as the 
common soldiers are always doing. I never could understand that 
mania ! When I asked papa why his orderlies would stay for hours 
with the cook, he laughed like everything ; but, after all, it's not sur- 
prising, for those j)oor fellows are so badly fed — always soup aud 
beef — and heaven knows what kind of soup, aud what kind of beef. 
I expect it's even worse than what we used to get at school. 
(Laughs.) They've jolly good reason for getting into the good 
graces of the cooks. Ha, ha, ha! (Sits. J How nice it is to sit 
down when you've danced from eleven till three o'clock ! I danced 
too much ! You see, I danced for all the girls that had no partners ! 
That poor little Margaret didn't look very much pleased with me ! 
She only danced twice, and that was with her brother ! (Pids her 
hand in her pocket, and takes it out qxdckly. ) Good gracious, all the 
sugarplums that I saved for my little brother have melted in the bot- 
tom of my pocket! (Pulling out her pocket-handkerchief to loipe her 
fingers, her tablet is dragged oxd with it and falls to the fioor. ) Oh. 
dear! My tablet ! ( Picks it up. ) It is a little book. In here are 
inscribed all your worldly advantages, young gentlemen. Whether 
your eyes are beautiful, your hands well shaped, your teeth white — 
whether you are well dressed, graceful, dance well. There will cer- 
tainly be a remark in the tablet for you. If a good one, so much the 
better ; but if uncomplimentary, then beware of asking for a second 
dance, for you will be refused. No young girl cares to have anything 
to do with a man who is inscribed in this way : "Stupid, dances like 
a grasshopper, does not keep time, and treads on his partner's feet." 
Ah, you thmk, gentlemen, that our tablets are only an aid to memory, 
and that all we have to do when the ball is over, is to pass a sponge 
or the damp corner of our handkerchiefs over it — and that's the end 
of it. (Looks over tablet.) Here's a name now — Gaston. I danced 
three times with him. Gaston — I will call him Gas for short. How 
many waltzes and polkas we did dance together! He's a splendid 
dancer ! How tall he is now ! Upon my word, he looks like a man ! 
I remember what fun we used to have when I was eight and he was 
ten. What races we used to run in the big park at Chestnut Hill. 



Juliet's love letteb. 6 

In the eveniug when it got dark, we didn't dare to stir out of the 
house ; we were so afraid of the old oak trees, filled with ^'oblius. 
The rustle of the leaves Irighteued us almost to death, and we imag- 
ined we heard the voices of ghosts that they told us lived at the bot- 
tom of Wells. Now he's a handsome young man, and I should feel so 
proud if he should want me to be his wife. I wonder what he is do- 
ing at this moment! Sleeping, I suppose, for he danced so hard! 
( With dis((ppoiided tone. ) Yes, he's asleep, no doubt, and probably 
not thinking of me. It's too bad, when I'm so often thinking of him. 
(Opening tablet.) Good-by, Gas, uiy old phxy-fellow, good-by ! I 
used to kiss you in the old times— and he used to kiss me, too ; but I 
don't dare to now, for mamma says it's not proper to kiss young men. 
But sometimes, in spite of that, I do so long to ; and if 1 were sure 
of not being scolded, I'd give you a good hug, just as I used to. 
(Baises tablet toward her lips.) No, no, 1 mustn't, mamma would 
not like it. But I'm not doing any harm, and the tablet can't speak 
and won't tell any one. There ! (Kisses Ins name with the fervor of 
a child— as she shuts the tablet, a piece of folded paper drops aid.) 
Oh, what's that? (Picks up paper.) Vviiere could it have come 
from? Out of the tablet ? Who could have put it there? (Exam- 
ines it attentively. ) It looks like a love-letter. How strange ! I did 
not lend my tablet to any one except Gas, who wanted to write his 
name down for all my disengaged dances. That's it. (She is going 
to open it.) But if I should find something that I ought not to read 
in this paper, I should be nicely punished for my curiosity. Who 
knows, there may be some secret or other in it. It's very wicked to 
try and find out a secret. But I must this one ! It's never too late 
to begin ! ( Opens paper. ) Why, the handwriting is just like mine 
—exactly as if I had written it myself! Let's look at the signature. 
Gaston! Eh? ( With dignity ; then correcting herself ) I M'onder 
what dear old Gas wants of me. (Reading. ) '' Juliet"— ( SpeaJcing) 
—that souuds like old times ; let's see liow it goes on. (Reading.) 
" Forgive me my audacity in daring to love you, and to tell you of it." 
(Speaking.) It's a joke! (Reading.) "My love for you has 
weighed upon me for a long time, and it's concealment makes me 
most unhappy. Open your fresh, pure heart to me, that you may- 
give me that happiness on which my existence depends!" (Speak' 
ing. ) This is getting serious ! Take care, Mr. Gaston ! (Reading. ) 
"Can you have forgotten those hours of our childhood when you 
called me your husband, and I called you my wife I A dream of our 
childhood, which it is for you to realise. I am grown up now." 
(Speaking. ) Oh, yes, grown up ; that's your opinion, you little cox- 
comb ! (Reading.) "Almost a man." (Speaking.) Pooh, pooh, 
pooh ! ( Heading. ) "And it is the man asks yon to gratify the wish 
of the child." (Speaking.) Well, this is cool! To make me a 
declaration of love without any warning. Whv, he's crazy ! (Read- 
ing. ) "You needn't search for the medallion "that you lost the other 
day at Mrs. Varselle's, for I have found it and have hidden it in my 



6 JULIET S LOVE LETTEK. 

heart. From that moment I Lave never ceased to kiss it as I would 
like to kiss yon." (Speaking loiih constantly increasing anger.) 
Oh, don't trouble j'ourself any more, sir ! Nut content with worry- 
ing me by hiding tuamma's mediiUion which I thought was lost, and 
I cried about it for an hour, you must needs want to kiss me ; but 
it's forbidden. (Goes on reading.) "Alas, we are not allowed to 
kiss each other now ; and yet, if 1 only dared, you would perhaps let 
me take your head in my two hands and kiss your forehead, as I did 
when we were children." (Speaking. ) Oh, yes, certainly! and to 
punish you, I'll tell mamma. Wouldn't that vex him? Wouldn't 
that make him feel little ? ( Goes on reading. ) "I love you, Juliet ; 
I worship you, and I will await my sentence on my knees." (Crushes 
letter in her liand, ond then throios it down.) Tliis is too much ! To 
dare to write such a thing to me ! (Bursts into tears. ) How mamma 
will scold me when I tell her about it, and tlie thought of papa's rage 
alone malces me tremble all over. Oh, dear ! Why didn't he tell me 
that he loved me, instead of writing all this rubbish. Then, at least, 
I shouldn't have been obliged to listen ; I could have made him hold 
bis tongue ; I could have showed him how wicked it was to take ad- 
vantage of my weakness! (Stops crying — a Sitrcasiic mood succeed- 
ing her frigid. ) My friends all warned me that boys were all alike 
at his age. They are hardly out of school, when, like a fla^h, they 
are in love ! Well, what is being in love, I wonder ! I don't know ! 
(With artlessness.) If the little ninny had only explained to me; 
but no, nothing but impertinence ! I love you, I love yon, that's all ! 
Very well, what then ? To get married it's only necessary to say to 
one, "I love you !" It seems to be very easy to marry ! Then why 
are there so many old maids? No, no, there must be something else 
that I don't know of, nor yon eitlier. Gas. Moreover, Mr. Gaston, 
I'd have you to know for your edification, that I have been honored 
by a much more experienced man than you are— an old general, who 
is much more versed in marriages than you are. He must have re- 
flected long and deejjly before aslring for my hand, and not rushed at 
it in a giddy-pated way as you did. (Increasing crying.) You are 
too young, my dear child, and I shall be under tlie necessity of fin- 
ishing your education, for I am sixteen, and you are eighteen. Now, 
as yon know, a girl of my age is in fact a woman, while you are onlj' 
a small boy. So nmch the worse for you, my dear ; you would have 
had a better chance of success if you had been born ten years sooner, 
because, as you may well suppose, I shall not serve my apprentice- 
ship to you, who know nothing about marrying, and whose ignor- 
ance is only equaled by my own. All my schoolmates, who have 
married since they left school, have told me, "No one marries for 
love now-a-daj's, my dear Juliet ;'' and they would not say that with- 
out knowing. Come now. Gas, confess that you have been thought- 
less ; but in spite of that, if you promise to give me back my medal- 
lion, I will forget your fault, and not tell any one, not even my nurse. 
(Becoming sentiniental. ) Not only that, but I begin to think that I 



JULIET S LOVE LETTER. 7 

was wrong to get; so angry with yon, aucl something tells me that 
yonr audacious conduct was the result of good feeling. You really 
must love me a little to have braved the consequences of such a daring 
act, as you did. "NVhy, your very boldness is almost attractive to me 
now, and I can imagiue you ready to face a thousand dangers to 
prove your love for me. But you'll give me back that locket, won't 
you? If it hadn't been for you, I should have lost mamma's locket, 
and how I should have been scolded ! ( Wipes her eyes. ) Good 
gracious, a tear 1 It's for joy, because you say that you have not for- 
gotten little Juliet, whom you seemed to love long ago. Come, I'm 
very sorry for my anger just now ! I wanted to be an important per- 
son M'ith wounded feelings, and crushing dignity, but I see how un- 
successful I have been in trying to deceive myself. This tear is a 
proof that I am the first one punished for my absurdity. ( Taking 
the shut iahlet from the table, and opening it. ) If you had only seen 
me a moment ago, kissing your name on this ivory leaf, you would 
have known that our two hearts were sisters ! Oh, how sweet is the 
thought of your letter ! It even seems to me like the expression of a 
feeling that I have preserved since our childhood. (Picks up note.) 
Look at me, Gaston, dear Gtiston ; I wish to make reparation for my 
silly anger, by a big kiss. (Kisses note. 

Voice. ( Outside. ) Why, Juliet, haven't you gone to bed yet ? 
Your light still burning ? 

Juliet. (Aside.) My aunt! (Aloud.) Yes, yes, dear aunt, yes, 
I'm asleep ! ( Tries to hloio out the light, hd in her eagerness knocks 
over caridle — Aside.) Good gracious, what a noise ! 

Voice. What in the world are you doing to make such a noise ia 
bed? 

Juliet, Oh, nothing, because I was asleep. 

Voice. Your sleep is of a very noisy kind. (Laughs. 

Juliet. (Running toioards bed-room- door, K., and looking at notet 
lohich she holds in her hand. ) You are the cause of all this, you mis- 
erable little wretch of a piece of paper from a boy of eighteen !
